You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I was going to ask but I figured if that was the case someone would tell me & you did so, thanks!

I just saw Yikerz! for sale at Think Geek. I totally forgot how much fun we had.

Magnets. How the fuck do they work?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

As one might guess, I can help a lot on this check. Do we care a lot about passing?

I think we want at least to reach the partial pass and avoid the Morale loss. From there, if the full pass looks achievable let's go for it. It's not often that you get a chance to check someone's loyalty, and before the Sleeper phase, checking just one card is enough to be sure about anyone except Baltar.

Fortunately, we have a celebrity to work with now. I see a future in public service announcements for you, kiddo. You can be the face of campaigns like "An AI life-form isn't just for Christmas, it's for life"; "Tylium, colon cancer and you"; and of course this latest one, "Mandatory testing: it's not just testing, it's mandatory".

Whaddya say, kiddo? You in?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

"Mandatory testing: it's not just testing, it's mandatory"

With a slogan like that, how can I refuse? This Y3 should shed a little light on the proceedings.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

I have been writing my annual self-assessment for the last few hours and still can't actually post it until my manager does her thing. Ugh. Should I put for managing work flow and setting priorities that I manage to run an online game of BSG and write for both my blogs all while juggling French and Italian projects? Probably not.

Anyway, suffice it to say that I will post destiny shortly, but won't continue with the check or finalize anything until I get home tonight.

Given that this just got posted in Natter by accident, I'm thinking maybe not.

While I think of it, my turn is up next, and I'm looking to XO someone. Any thoughts on whom I should XO and what they might do with it?
